I'm really concerned about bad breath. I brush my teeth every morning, but I've noticed the bad smell comes back after I eat during the day. What's causing this and how can I keep my breath fresh all day? It's getting a bit embarrassing and I'm not sure what else to do. Could it be something I'm eating or maybe I have a dental issue I'm not aware of? Any advice would really help.

To avoid bad breath throughout the day, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene. In addition to brushing your teeth in the morning, make sure to also brush your teeth after meals. You can use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride to reduce bacteria in the mouth and freshen breath. Additionally, chewing sugar-free gum or mints containing xylitol can help stimulate saliva production and reduce bad breath. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can also help keep your mouth moist and reduce odor.

View allI've been chewing Happydent gum a lot lately and I'm a bit concerned. Each piece has 6 pallets, and I've noticed I'm consuming about 1824 pallets every week. They say it's sugar-free and has Xylitol in it, but I'm wondering if there could be any side effects from chewing so much of this gum. Could you shed some light on this for me?
Consuming 18-24 pallets of Happydent chewing gum per week, which contains xylitol, may lead to potential side effects, including gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, bloating, gas, and abdominal pain, as some people may not fully digest xylitol; additionally, excessive xylitol consumption may also cause a laxative effect, electrolyte imbalances, or interact with medications like blood thinners.

My front teeth are shifting outward and my gums are bleeding a lot. Is RCT needed for these teeth and how much would it cost per tooth? Can this be fixed permanently? Also, will I need gum surgery for the bleeding? What kind of dental cap would you suggest for front teeth and what's the usual price for that?

I have a bone graft issue in my upper and lower front teeth and my dentist recommended flap surgery but I'm hesitant because it seems like a long and painful process. Can I just get my front teeth extracted instead of going through with the surgery? What are my other options for dealing with this bone graft problem?
